\"After<\/p>\n

After Gandhi: One Hundred Years of Nonviolent Resistance<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Anne Sibley O\u2019Brien and Perry Edmond O\u2019Brien
\n(Charlesbridge, 2009)<\/h2>\n

 
\nAn extraordinarily powerful and moving book,\u00a0After Gandhi: One Hundred Years of Nonviolent Resistance<\/em>\u00a0brings together a gallery of non-violent peace activists, whose actions, it is no exaggeration to say, changed the course of history.\u00a0 Those changes may not have been immediately apparent but the seeds they sowed through \u201cnonviolent resistance\u201d sent out roots into future generations, whose freedom stemmed \u2013 and still stems \u2013 from that spark of resistance that these stories chronicle.<\/p>\n

Fittingly, the book\u2019s introduction is given over to Gandhi himself, who \u201cwas not the first leader to use nonviolent methods to challenge injustice, but he developed new strategies involving tens of thousands of people in mass actions and demonstrated the power of nonviolence on a scale never seen before.\u201d\u00a0 This is key to the book\u2019s message \u2013 young readers will respond to these inspirational stories because each individual form of resistance created a groundswell among the people, which then became the true instrument for change: whether it was Rosa Park\u2019s actions in Alabama giving rise to the Civil Rights Movement; Charles Perkins\u2019 fight for Aboriginal rights in Australia; the Madres de Plaza de Mayo marching for their disappeared children in Argentina; Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams bringing mothers together to march for peace in Northern Ireland; Aung San Suu Kyi\u2019s constant resistance to the military regime in Burma; student activists in China in a \u201cwar between love and hatred, not between force and force\u201d that reached its climax in Tiananmen Square in 1989; or V\u00e1clav Havel\u2019s leading role in Czechoslovakia\u2019s Velvet Revolution.\u00a0 Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnam), Nelson Mandela (South Africa), Martin Luther King, Jr. (USA), C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez (USA), Muhammad Ali (USA), Desmond Tutu (South Africa) and Wangari Maathai (Kenya) are all also represented \u2013 as well as, in the final profile, the thousands of people who came together across the globe in 2003 to protest against the war in Iraq.<\/p>\n

The books\u2019 layout is very attractive, using a variety of fonts to good effect.\u00a0 Interestingly, there are no photographs but each section is introduced with a double-page illustration and carries a portrait, both depicted in black and white. Quotations are highlighted throughout the book in red bands across the page; a world map at the beginning pin-points all the locations highlighted; and there is an annotated bibliography at the end.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0After Gandhi<\/em>, mother-and-son team Anne Sibley O\u2019Brien and Perry Edmond O\u2019Brien\u00a0 show the key role nonviolent movements for social justice have played in our history. The array of exceptional individuals it features \u2013 all catalysts for peaceful citizen action \u2013 is sure to inspire a new generation of young readers to take their philosophy forward in their own lives.<\/p>\n
